Good Grief...I just hope Vargas doesn't embarrass himself, and the team.

Couldn't they just've called up someone else from Bingy or Vegas to make this start tonight??

We have a Dominic Smith sighting....
2 out PH rbi double...gives the Mets an 8-2 lead in the 8th.

Mets going for the Wild Card after all. No fight in Phillies. Must be food poisoning.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Put it in the Books.
Mets win the game 8-2 to take the series 3-2.

Mets going for the Wild Card after all. No fight in Phillies. Must be food poisoning.

Nah...they aren't going for the WC....they'll be lucky to finish close to .500 & in 4th place of the NL east.


That being said...stranger things have happened...so who knows.

Would be nice I guess....but I'm not gonna hold my breath,
